Hi guys,

Have the following snippet:


<jsp:useBean id="map" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<%
map.put("a123", "object");
pageContext.setAttribute( "id", "123" );
%>
${map[ 'a' + id ]}



Trying to concat 'a' with some existing attribute to get the map value. No success so far. How can i concat values inside the [] brackets?

Can you give me a hint please.

Thank's for your time

Im not sure about it but did u try it with String rather than char?
You can try ["a"+123].

Regards,
Leena

Problem is that + is used for addition so "a"+"somethingelse" else gives plenty nice errors of type:
javax.servlet.ServletException: An exception occured trying to convert String "a1" to type "java.lang.Long" / or "java.lang.Double"

Following code is solution, but i rather wanted the concatenation inside the [ ] brackets

<jsp:useBean id="map" class="java.util.HashMap"/>
<%
map.put( "a123", "object");

final String s = "a" + "123";
pageContext.setAttribute( "id", s );
%>

${map[ id ]}
